Yale University

Driving south again, I have a nice dinner in the college part of Providence, Rhode Island (Brown University). I try to find a place to stay for the night and my GPS system directs me to a hotel nearby. I call and find out they have VERY reasonable rates. When I get there, however, it turns out to be a "Gentleman's Club" with rooms available upstairs! Ahem. You know what that means.... :)

I decide to get a better room at similarly reasonable rates on the outskirts of town instead. The next day, I move on and drive down to New Haven, Connecticut for another university -- Yale. The campus is beautiful! The buildings below look like old churches, but they're actually libraries and the college of law! Very impressive.

The impressive architecture and campus still does not do enough to compensate for what it's spat out to the world though: GW!

What I really enjoyed seeing though was an original Gutenberg bible! There are only 20 or so surviving copies, and only 5 or so in the US.

Looking for a place to have a late lunch, I find a place called the Rainbow Cafe. I really liked this hanging by the entrance to the place:
